Beautiful little Texan one holer. You can see its T6/SNJ heritage during his flight. Did CAF build this aircraft? Just read the title CAC question answered.

Nothing to do with the Harvard/Texan. Very different aircraft.

I believe it was developed from the Wirraway and its lineage is the NA-16 or Texan or Harvard.
The Wirraway trainer provided a starting point for the Boomerang's airframe. CAC general manager (and former chief designer) Lawrence Wackett and chief designer Fred David began detailed design work at the CAC factory in Fishermans Bend, Melbourne on 21 December 1941. David was a Jewish refugee from Austria, who had worked on aircraft designs for Heinkel in pre-Nazi Germany, as well as for Mitsubishi and Aichi in Japan.[1] As a result, he had a comprehensive knowledge of advanced contemporary fighter designs, including the Heinkel He 112 and A6M Zero.
Wirraway
manufactured in Australia by the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation (CAC) between 1939 and 1946. The aircraft was an Australian development of the North American NA-16 training aircraft. During World War II, the Wirraway served as the starting point for the design of the emergency fighter CAC Boomerang

They had one over here for an airshow a while back... Nice little bird generally, and good to watch in the air, but dont park her next to a Spitfire, the comparison isn't flattering.

Yes and No. It was developed from the Wirraway (though about all they kept was the tail section and the wing centre section + u/c) but the Wirraway wasn't developed from the Harvard. It was developed from an aircraft that was later developed into the Harvard. So the Wirraway and the Harvard are cousins, but one isn't developed from the other. Thats a bit like saying the Sea Fury was developed from the TA 152 (although that may be stretching the point)

It is being worked on... another little "secret" project from the RAF 662'nd group... Infact, release is planed for just before Easter...

Research the developmental history of this aircraft and you will see what Im talking about.

Well yeah! Kind of like an I-16 parked next to a bus, I still wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers

Magpie that is so damn cool
. Being Aussie this will make a great addition to IL2 in my opinion.Will definitely be keeping my eye open for any little teasers that appear before release.
